"On behalf of everyone at the club, the board would like to record their sincere thanks for the commitment, dedication and professionalism that both Gareth and Alistair have demonstrated in their time at Hibernian, and wish them all the very best in their future careers.

"Further updates will be published on the club website as appropriate."

Hibs lost 3-1 at St Johnstone on the weekend with Fenlon looking on from the stands ahead of his first match in charge at Motherwell on Friday night.
